A traveling preacher who claimed an 11-year-old girl became "belligerent" when he refused to sleep in the same bed as her has been convicted of raping the girl at a southwestern Pennsylvania motel.

A Bedford County jury convicted the Rev. Walter Bradshaw of 22 of 24 counts Thursday after the Lexington, N.C. evangelist denied the allegations, saying the now-15-year-old girl was vindictive and "could turn on you."
